. High heat appears to be your only choice on the butt. Other thoughts include,deboning and butterflying the butt, or just lopping off the money muscle, and cooking the butt in smaller sections. Not sure if that would violate the rules of the contest. Good luck, that is a daunting timeline...

Ryan, Both are fine cookers, and will turn out excellent product. I have owned an FEC-100, and a Stump's Prince. Like any products in this world, they both have pro's and cons. As for other brands to look at, Superior Smokers makes a cooker similar(gravity feed)to a Stump's. I had a Superior...

The 14" Forschner is a fine knife, and can also be used as a Brisket slicer should you compete. Just food for thought, keep the fat cap on. I may clean up some chunks of fat here and there, but keep most of the fat cap intact.

Oh to be a young student again, drinking on State Street. I'm guessing you will be on the Capitol end of State St? I like the idea of the pulled pork sandwhiches, but am less convinced by the rest. Typically student drunks want fast,flavorful,cheap, and portable(yes that is experience...

Usually it goes a little something like this- A.M. Strong black coffee and Social Distortion. Noon Special Export Lite and Hank Sr or J. Cash Midday Homebrew and Marshall Crenshaw or Sonny Landreth When the cook is over, everything is cleaned up,and I'm replaying it in my mind and revieweing...

"Culinary Artistry" by Dornenburg and Page is recommended by Mike Mills, the author of "Peace, Love, and Barbeque". He claims it is an excellent resource for learning about spices and what they complement. Hope that helps.

Drinking - Ideally, a nice cold homebrew( some of my batches are better than others.) Dogfish 90min IPA, , Capitol Blonde dopplebock. Groovin- Jimmy Lafave, Johnny Cash, Beau Jocque, Joe Satriani, Social Distortion.
